Re: How bad can an $8 coating be?

This is gonna be quite, uh, `interesting` if it proves to be even the equivalent of a 6-month coating...certainly has some interesting features

Features:

1. With the hardness of super hydrofobowa glass coating
2. The sacrifical coated on the surface can be used as a coat of the barrier
3. Protect your car from blaknięcie aging, weathering and erosion, sunshine, sour powder, etc.
4. Protect your car from scratching, make the car more shining like the new

What you guys never had those rotten kids throw their sour powder on your car???? What else do you do with all the stuff at the bottom of a bag of Sour Patch Kids?

As to the NSA, I`m sure on on their list already, I love Banggood and a couple of other Chinese vendors.

TBH, my money is on the fact that someone is having their coating products made in China and these are making their way out the back door or it was just straight cloned. For the that region in the world lacks in inventiveness they excel at copycatting.

Given the number of coatings that have appeared in the last year or so alone, I`m guessing many are just re-labeled...

Re: How bad can an $8 coating be?

Well I went for it, one fender coated on the VW. Quick notes:

-Pretty grabby on application
-Fairly thick, same consistancy as Opticoat
-Pretty hard to see high spots, does not do the rainbow color like other coatings
-After drying for a little bit, it seems pretty grabby, we`ll see what happens as it cures.
-A little goes a long way! Fender was coated with 15-20 drops?
-Not much, if any, darkening effect

To be honest, I`m not sure I got it on right, this is not my first coating, but I didn`t get any real instructions, I applied it, let if flash for a few minutes just as it was starting to get tacky, I wiped off the excess.

And for those of you that have served (thank you!), there is a new "veteran" forumula:

Good question. I would think the ones that are imported hundreds or thousands at a time are more likely to be tested. The ones made in the US, if they are using something that shouldn`t be in there they run the risk of being shut down.

Someone actually gave me one from China that was about 10.00. I used a little bit. Their probably fine. I just made a personal decision not to use them anymore. I hope they work out for you, the price is definitely right.

The guy that gave me the bottle said he can take a stick and scrape it on the coating and it won`t scratch. It will be interesting to see what kind of durability they have.
